The play is lack of action by any of the characters. They complain, they wish, they dream about a better life but they never do anything to change their future. In the “Three Sisters” , none of the characters ever make such a life changing decision. They talk about them, they discuss them, they complain, cry and wish for a life-changing event, but they never set for the effort to cause such an event. Therefore, the action slow down and the play goes nowhere. Ending as it began with no progress or a change in the characters. But I think the important point that Chekhov is trying to make in the “Three Sisters” is all the talk, all wishes and the other complaines will get one nowhere without some decisive action to back it up
